Last Updated on Tuesday, 05 February 2008 04:58 Written by Marlene Cohen Tuesday, 05 February 2008 04:29

Hello everyone! We are busily preparing for IPTC 2008, and there are some details we can announce.

This year’s conference will be sponsored by the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center and will be held on November 6-8. We have booked a block of rooms at a beautiful new hotel in the heart of New Brunswick, the Heldrich. To take a sneak peak, you can visit their website at www.theheldrich.com. There are a multitude of great places to eat, with options to fit anyone’s budget. 

The conference itself will be held at the Douglass Campus Center, Rutgers University. The site it a few blocks from the hotel and is well suited for a conference this size. We are currently contacting shuttle services to investigate the possibility of shuttling attendees from the hotel at no extra cost. For those of you who are driving, there is parking behind the campus center, which will also be free of charge.
 
Our current focus is on securing keynote speakers. So far, Chuck Merbitz has agreed to honor us with one of the keynote presentations. We are looking forward to his presentation!

Although we have accomplished a lot in the past couple of months, there is still a lot to do. We need your help!
